Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress Review
Leesa Hybrid Mattress: An Introduction
Balancing cushioning and stability, the Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress supports the body while staying comfortable and cool for most body weights and sleep positions. The pocketed coils provide a subtle bounce, while the reinforced edges make it easy to get in and out of bed.
Leesa is a U.S.-based mattress retailer that offers six mattress models and several collections of bedding and mattress support systems. The Original Hybrid is a hybrid version of the company’s flagship all-foam Leesa Original.
How We Review
We reviewed the Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress in our dedicated sleep lab using our rigorous product testing methodology. To review the bed’s performance, our diverse team of side, back, and stomach sleepers conducted hands-on testing and evaluated this mattress across performance categories like pressure relief, durability, and temperature regulation.
What’s It Like to Sleep on the Leesa Hybrid Mattress?
The Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress’ top layer of memory foam gently conforms to the body, effectively preventing pressure from building up in areas like the shoulders and hips. The 8-inch layer of pocketed coils gives the bed a slight bounce, making it easy to change position. We also noted its solid perimeter, which made it easy to sit on the edge of the mattress and get out of bed.
In terms of performance, the Original Hybrid performed particularly well in temperature regulation and ease of movement, staying nearly silent even as our testers moved across its surface. These features make this mattress a great option for shoppers looking for the right mattress for sex. It’s also a great choice for combination sleepers and couples.

Sleeping Positions, Body Weight, and Firmness
Our team rated the Leesa Original Hybrid as a medium firm (6) mattress. We use a 10-point scale to measure how firm a mattress feels, with one indicating an extra soft bed and 10 representing an extra firm bed. Most mattresses are between medium (5) and medium firm (6).
To ensure our ratings are inclusive, our sleep testers encompass a wide range of body types and a mix of preferred sleep positions, including side, back, stomach, and combination sleepers.
When choosing a mattress, it’s important to consider your preferences as well as your body weight and usual sleep position. Side sleepers often prefer a softer surface that cushions the shoulders and hips while still providing enough support to maintain spinal alignment. Back sleepers often benefit from a firmer mattress that distributes weight evenly and doesn’t sink under the lower back. Stomach sleepers usually need a firmer model that keeps the torso supported.
Leesa Hybrid Mattress Ratings
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers generally need a mattress that is soft enough to prevent pressure points from forming at the shoulders and hips while also preventing too much sinkage. Our side sleepers weighing over 130 pounds found that the Original Hybrid did an excellent job of providing this balance. Side sleepers on our team who weigh less also found the bed comfortable, rating it as about average for a hybrid.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers need ample cushioning for pressure points, along with sturdy support to prevent misalignment. Back sleepers on our team who weigh less than 230 pounds appreciated the mattress’ mix of comfort and support. Back sleepers over 230 pounds still appreciated the strong support core but would have preferred a firmer sleep surface with less contouring.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a mattress that provides enough support under the midsection to prevent spinal misalignment. Our testers under 130 pounds rated the Hybrid Original as excellent in this area, but those over 230 pounds felt they sank too deeply into the bed’s surface.
Our Performance Ratings
What Is the Leesa Hybrid Mattress Made Of?
The Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress is constructed of memory foam, pocketed coils, and polyfoam. The comfort system includes a 1-inch layer of memory foam set above a 1.5-inch layer of supportive polyfoam. The support core consists of an 8-inch layer of pocketed coils with two rows of low-gauge springs around the perimeter for increased edge support. The final layer is .75 inches of dense polyfoam, which gives the mattress structure and reinforces the support core.
The Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress contains CertiPUR-US certified memory foam and polyfoam, meaning these materials are made without ozone depletors and certain harmful chemicals.

Which Leesa Mattress Is Right for You?
Leesa offers multiple types of mattresses, including their all-foam Original, three hybrid models, and a collection of mattresses designed for kids. Choosing the right Leesa mattress depends on your individual sleep needs and preferences.
During testing, our team found that the Leesa Original Hybrid and the Leesa Sapira Hybrid worked better than other models for stomach and back sleepers under 130 pounds, as well as for side sleepers over 130 pounds. All of Leesa’s hybrid models excelled in edge support and ease of movement.
The Leesa Original Mattress performed best for side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. The medium soft (6) feel of the Leesa Studio was also exceptionally comfortable for our testers under 130 pounds. However, considering that all of Leesa’s models have a firmness level of 6 or lower, sleepers over 230 pounds may prefer a firmer model from another brand.

Leesa Hybrid Mattress FAQ
Compared to the all-foam Leesa Original, the Leesa Original Hybrid was equally or more comfortable for all of our testers, with the exception of side sleepers under 130 pounds.

The Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress performs very well for hot sleepers. The mattress is encased in a breathable cover made from polyester and viscose that is designed to maintain a neutral temperature and keep the body cool.
